The present invention relates to audio devices and, more specifically, to apparatus and methods for increasing the magnetic field in mobile telephones or other audio devices for the purpose of Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC).
Recently the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandated that by July 2005, hearing-aid compatibility will be required on at least two mobile telephone models for each protocol sold in the United States and, by 2008, fifty percent of all the mobile telephone models sold in the United States must be Hearing-Aid Compatible (HAC).
In order for a telephone to be HAC, the telephone must deliver enough magnetic field proximate the ear speaker so that the hearing-aid device, which is in T-coil mode, can pick-up the magnetic field delivered by the phone. The FCC relies on standards, such as American Natural Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2001, 68 FCC part 68 (47 C.F.R. 68) and International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication (ITU-T) standards to define the requirements for hearing-aid compatibility. For example, in order for a mobile telephone to be considered compliant under the FCC ruling it must meet ANSI C63.19-2001 Category U3 radio frequency performance standards. Currently, not all mobile telephones, and certain other audio devices, being sold in the United States meet the FCC requirements and, thus, some form of device redesign will be required in order to meet the FCC requirements. While many possible solutions for redesign exist they must be able to compete with the current trends in mobile telephone manufacturing, in particular, decreasing size of the mobile telephone and decreasing cost of the units. Thus, in order for a solution to the magnetic field problem to be viable, the solution must minimize the amount of space it will occupy within the mobile telephone housing (i.e., handset, headset or other such housing) and it must be an economically feasible solution that will not impart any unnecessary additional costs to the unit price of the mobile telephone. The space minimization concern becomes exasperated as more and more features are added to the mobile telephone platform and many other handheld audio devices.
Thus, a need exists to develop an apparatus and method for increasing the magnetic field within a mobile telephone. The desired device and method should increase the magnetic field such that it meets the hearing-aid compatibility requirements mandated by the FCC. Additionally, the desired device and methods should be size compatible with current trends in mobile telephone manufacturing. In this regard, the desired device should increase the magnetic field without having to increase the size of the mobile telephone and, in particular the size of the ear speaker. Also, the desired device and method should be economically feasible, in that, it should minimize unnecessary additional costs related to manufacturing.
The present invention provides for a magnetic coil assembly associated with an audio device such that the magnetic field emitted by the coil provides the requisite emission required for hearing-aid compatibility. Typically, the audio device will be a mobile terminal equipped with an audio transducer, such as a mobile telephone. In such embodiments the magnetic field emitted by the coil will typically combine with the magnetic field of the transducer to provide an overall increase in the magnetic field. The design of the magnetic coil may take various described forms, so as to provide options in terms of the placement position within the device housing. The design of the coil takes into account the space constraints within the device housing and the need to limit manufacturing costs associated with the magnetic coil. The increase in magnetic field emission provided by the coil will provide for audio transducer-equipped devices, such as mobile telephones, to comply with pending FCC requirements for Hearing-aid Compatibility (HAC).
In one embodiment of the invention an audio device is defined. The audio apparatus includes one or more driver circuits, a transducer in electrical communication with one of the driver circuits that provides for a transducer magnetic field and a magnetic coil in electrical communication with one of the one or more driver circuits that provides for a magnetic field emission that combines with the transducer magnetic field to result in an overall increased magnetic field. Typically, the magnetic coil and the transducer will share a single audio driver circuit and will be electrically connected either in series or in parallel. However, in an alternative embodiment the magnetic coil may have a separate audio driver circuit that operates independent of the transducer. In certain alternate embodiments, the audio device may operate without the need to incorporate a transducer.
The magnetic coil will typically be located within the audio device housing proximate to the transducer. Location proximate to the transducer will generally insure that the magnetic fields emitted by the coil and the transducer combine to provide for the largest magnetic field possible. However, in alternate embodiments of the invention the magnetic coil may be remote from the audio device housing, typically positioned proximate the ear of the device's user or proximate the hearing aid pickup coil.
The magnetic coil will typically be formed in a multi-turn arrangement and, additionally, will typically be arranged in multiple layers. Multiple turns and multiple layers insure maximum magnetic field emission from the coil assembly. The magnetic coil may be disposed on a flexible substrate; disposed on a foldable flexible substrate, disposed on or within the device's printed circuit board or the coil may be a freestanding, substrate-free apparatus. In embodiments in which the coil is disposed on a flexible substrate it may be disposed on either planar side or both planar sides of the substrate. Additionally, the magnetic coil may be disposed on the substrate in a layered fashion, such that it exists in multiple planes. In the layered arrangements the coil may be separated and spaced apart by dielectric adhesive layers or some other suitable dielectric material.
The foldable flexible substrate provides for individual coil units that are separated by fold regions, such that folding the units, one upon another, provides for a stacked coil arrangement that increases the cumulative magnetic field emitted by the transducer of the audio device. The individual coil units may be symmetric in planar shape, such that folding of the units, approximately 180 degrees, results in superimposing the units one on top of another. Alternatively, the individual coil units may be asymmetric in planar shape, such that folding of the units results in an asymmetric stack of coils. Desired magnetic field emissions may dictate the shape of the coil units. Additionally the layout of the fold regions within the device may dictate that the resulting folded assembly has an asymmetric stacked configuration
The magnetic coil may also be a freestanding, substrate-free assembly. Typically, such an assembly is assembled on a release layer or a release substrate. In this regard, the freestanding assembly may be a layered or stacked arrangement of coils that are separated and spaced apart by a dielectric adhesive layer.
In alternate embodiments of the invention the magnetic coil may be disposed on or within the printed circuit board located within the audio device. In such embodiment the coil may be printed on the circuit board in multi-layer format using a photolithography process or other suitable semiconductor processing techniques. Alternatively, the coil assembly may be bonded or otherwise affixed to the circuit board after it has been fabricated. Additionally, the magnetic coil may be embedded within the layers of the printed circuit board.
As discussed above, in other alternate embodiments the magnetic coil may a highly flexible coil that is embedded or otherwise attached to periphery device, such as some form of headgear. In these embodiments the magnetic coil will be in electrical communication, either wired or wireless, with the audio device.
The planar shape of the coil assembly and the number of turns and/or layers in the coil assembly will typically be dictated by the magnitude of the magnetic field emission desired and the space limitations within the audio device housing. In addition, space limitations within the housing will dictate where the coil assembly is located within the audio device. In various embodiments of the invention, the coil assembly may be located proximate the printed circuit board, proximate the transducer gasket or between the transducer and the external cover that houses the ear port.
The invention is also defined in a method for increasing the magnetic field generated by an audio device. The method includes the steps of providing a magnetic coil within an audio device housing that is proximate the transducer of the device, and driving the magnetic coil with an audio driver circuit during device operation to provide a magnetic field in addition to the transducer magnetic field. The magnetic coil that is provided may be a magnetic coil disposed on a flexible substrate, a magnetic coil disposed on or within the telephone's printed circuit board, a magnetic coil disposed in units on a foldable flexible substrate or an unsupported, substrate-free magnetic coil.
Thus, the present invention provides a simplistic apparatus that results in sufficient increase in the emission of a magnetic field within an audio device, typically a mobile telephone. The increase in the magnetic field resulting from the invention will allow audio devices to comply with the pending FCC hearing-aid compatibility standards for future audio devices. The magnetic coil of the present invention can be designed in various formats and located in various positions within the audio device, thus allowing for the coil to provide sufficient increase in magnetic field while adhering to the space limitation concerns within the interior confines of the audio device. Additionally, the proposed designs can be manufactured and implemented in cost efficient manners.
Having thus described the invention in general terms, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, which are not necessarily drawn to scale, and wherein:
The present inventions now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the invention are shown. Indeed, these inventions may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.
The present invention provides for an audio device having a magnetic coil that is in electrical communication with a driver circuit of the audio device. Typically the audio device will be mobile terminal, such as a mobile telephone or the like. Additionally, the magnetic coil may be in electrical communication, in series or in parallel, with a transducer, such as a transducer that emits audible sound. The electrical schematic configuration of the driver/coil/transducer will be dictated by the many factors, such as pre-existing electrical design, space limitations and other concerns.
The magnetic coil is typically physically positioned proximate the transducer of the audio device. Positioning the magnetic coil proximate the transducer insures that the magnetic field from the coil is coupled with the magnetic field from the transducer to provide requisite magnetic field emissions for hearing-aid compatibility. In certain embodiments, the transducer may not emit any magnetic field, such as in the case of an audio device embodying a piezoelectric transducer. In such embodiments, the magnetic coil described in this invention is typically located within the audio device at a position which is proximate the users ear or proximate the hearing aid pickup coil.
However, in other embodiments of the invention the magnetic coil may be remote from the transducer, typically positioned proximate the ear of the audio device user or proximate the hearing aid pickup coil. For example the magnetic coil described in this invention, in the form of a flexible magnetic coil may be provided for within a helmet, hat, other headgear or other object that is proximate a user's ear with electrical communication provided between the flexible magnetic coil and the remote audio device, such as a remote cellular telephone. It should be noted that these head coverings may or may not be equipped with a transducer device and, as such, may be specifically designed to impart magnetic field emission to the hearing-aid user of the audio device.
The magnetic coil of the present invention is suited for any audio device that may require hearing-aid compatibility. For example, the audio device may include a mobile or landline telephone, a telephone headset, audio headphones, audio ear buds or any other audio device. It is especially suited for audio devices having space limitations, such as telephones, audio headsets, audio headphones, audio ear buds or the like.
In addition to the audio devices equipped with an audio transducer described above, the audio device of the present invention may be specifically designed for hearing-aid users. In such embodiments the audio device may be limited to emission of low frequency magnetic field with no other audible frequency emissions. As such, these hearing-aid specific devices do not require an audio transducer.
As will be discussed and shown at length infra, the magnetic coil will typically be a multi-turn coil and in many embodiments the coil will be arranged in multiple layers or in multiple planes. The magnetic coil may be disposed on a flexible substrate, disposed on or within the device's printed circuit board or the magnetic coil may be free-standing (i.e., unsupported by a substrate). In an alternate embodiment, the coil may be remote from audio device housing, such as in embodiments in which the coil is a flexible coil embedded within a helmet, hat, some other form of head gear or any other object that is proximate a user's ear. The coil will typically be formed of copper, copper alloy or any other suitable conductive material.

The generally circular planar shape of the flexible substrate shown in
In the illustrated embodiment of
It is noted that while the embodiments illustrated in
In addition to disposing the magnetic coil on a flexible substrate or on the mobile telephone's printed circuit board, an alternate embodiment of the invention provides for the magnetic coil to a freestanding unit, unsupported by a substrate. In these embodiments, the magnetic coil may be a multi-turn coil formed generally on a single plane or the magnetic coil may a multi-turn, layered structure formed on multiple planes. The multi-turn, layered structure may be formed on a release layer or release substrate that is subsequently removed after the structure has been fabricated. Typically, the layers of coil in the freestanding unit will be spaced apart and separated by dielectric adhesive layers or some other form of a dielectric material.
Additionally, the magnetic coil assembly 20B may surround the periphery of the transducer gasket 210 or the transducer 10. As such, the magnetic coil assembly would typically conform in shape to the shape of the periphery of the gasket or the transducer. Thus, if the gasket or transducer is circular in shape the corresponding coil assembly would be generally circular in shape and if the gasket or transducer is square in shape the corresponding coil assembly would be generally square in shape. In the illustrated embodiment, the coil assembly is shown surrounding the periphery of the gasket nearest the transducer 10. However, in alternate embodiments the coil assembly could surround the periphery of the gasket proximate either side of the second cover 310 or anywhere else along the height of the gasket. The coil assembly that surrounds the periphery of the gasket may include a flexible substrate, a folded flexible substrate or a freestanding coil assembly.
The magnetic coil assembly 20C may also be located along the underside of the second cover 310. Typically, in this embodiment the coil assembly will have a generally rectangular planar shape to allow for the magnetic field emitted by the coils to interact with the optional leaky holes 230 and the sound port 220. The coil assembly, such as the flexible substrate assembly, the folded flexible substrate assembly or the free-standing coil assembly, may be affixed to the second cover using a dielectric adhesive, a wire coating or other suitable dielectric material.
Thus, the present invention provides a simplistic apparatus that results in sufficient increase in the emission of magnetic field within an audio device. The increase in magnetic field resulting from the invention will allow devices, such as mobile telephones to comply with the pending FCC regulations for hearing-aid compatibility. The magnetic coil of the present invention can be designed in various formats and located in various positions within the audio device, thus allowing for the coil to provide sufficient increase in magnetic field while adhering to the space limitation concerns within the interior confines of the device. Additionally, the proposed designs can be manufactured and implemented in cost efficient manners.
Many modifications and other embodiments of the inventions set forth herein will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which these inventions pertain having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings. Therefore, it is to be understood that the inventions are not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and that modifications and other embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims. Although specific terms are employed herein, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.

After nine years and $135 million, the Yale Art Galleries on the university's campus in New Haven, Connecticut, have reopened to display the treasures you more typically find in a big-city museum. The project is the culmination of a campus-wide arts master plan that has taken 17 years and $500 million.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <meta> http://archinect.com/news/article/63473645/a-world-class-encyclopedic-art-museum-complex-re-opens-in-new-haven A world-class encyclopedic art museum, complex re-opens in New Haven Nam Henderson 2012-12-15T18:22:00-05:00 >2012-12-18T16:59:49-05:00
Balance. For decades we've had an art culture that tries to wow us with too muchness — blockbusters, biennials, bank-breaking museum buildings no one needs — and that ends up delivering way too little. Could it be that the day of just enough is upon us, and that Yale's just right museum is a bellwether?

 Holland Cotter reviews the final results of the $135 million renovation and expansion of Yale's museum complex. The entire refurbished complex — a block-and-a-half-long stretch that is itself a museum of changing architectural styles — officially re-opened two weeks ago. Consisting of the 1953 Kahn building and two adjacent buildings on Chapel Street — the so-called Old Yale Art Gallery, a 1928 neo-Florentine Gothic building and Street Hall, a Ruskinian Gothic structure from 1866 — the renovations and additions have combined to give the respected institution an "aura of a destination'. The paper also recently published a profile of Jock Reynolds, director of the Yale University Art Gallery, by Charles McGrath. Therein McGrath explored the successful tenure of the sculptor turned director who has "caused hundreds of millions of dollars...to pour into Yale's coffers" or to put it another way "He makes money rain on the place".

From Friday evening to Saturday afternoon, 180 alumnae and current female students alike will gather at the school to discuss issues such as evolving design practices and the intersection of architecture and activism, School of Architecture Dean Robert A.M. Stern said. But the symposium's larger goal is to allow graduates to share their experiences as women architects, he explained.

In the lecture series "Context and Collaboration" given by Paul Makovsky of Metropolis Magazine, Pullman and architect Jane Thompson of the Thompson Design Group, Nelson was described as rejecting the Howard Roark paradigm of the "hero architect" due to his socially conscious approach and his choice to work on interiors during the mid-20th century when furniture design was considered "feminine."

Last week, Raj Patel, principal and acoustic consultant at Arup treated the crowd at Yale School of Architecture's Sound of Architecture Symposium to a presentation on his company's Sound Lab. The Sound Lab uses a battery of speakers arranged in a spherical configuration to mimic the acoustic properties of a digital architectural model. In real time, designers can change the shape of a hall, the material of the seats, the angle of the walls, and hear how it might affect the acoustics...

"We don't believe architecture can solve anything," Andraos said of the relationship between environmentalism and design in WORKac's creations. "Rather, we feel this is a question of impacting culture. In the architect's Sisyphean relation to power, we believe in the visionary, and his agency to radicalize and to move culture."

 A team of students from Yale's School of Architecture has shared with us their pavilion project which acted as the ticket and information booth at the New Haven International Festival of Arts and Ideas this June. The pavilion was designed, built, and fund-raised this spring and summer in the 'Assembly' seminar led by faculty member Brennan Buck. The seminar sought to explore the relationship between digital design and fabrication on the one hand and public engagement and visual dynamism on the other.

 Here's the project description we've received from the students:

 A pavilion for the International Festival of Arts and Ideas opened on Friday, June 15 on the New Haven Green as the product of the 'Assembly' seminar led by faculty member Brennan Buck. Thirteen students and teaching assistant Teoman Ayas completed the design work during the spring semester, with fabrication and assembly following in the early weeks of summer.

In 2008, while conducting research on the work of celebrated modernist Kevin Roche (b. 1922), Yale School of Architecture associate professor Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen conducted a series of interviews with the architect in his Hamden, Connecticut, home. She included selections from the interviews in Kevin Roche: Architecture as Environment (Yale University Press, 2011), the monograph published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name.

Yale's new undergraduate architecture program treads a fine line between Yale College's liberal arts philosophy and the preprofessional culture of its home in the Architecture School's Rudolph Hall. Due to the major's rigorous coursework early on and focus on production, six undergraduate students in the major interviewed said that they feel the program is more "preprofessional" than other majors at Yale.

This past Monday the anti-establishment infiltrated Yale School of Architecture in a dashing gold scarf. Seducing the audience with a breathless stream of "Frenglish," whose charm derived from the speaker's sheer enthusiasm for his subject, François Roche rose to a god-like status typically only afforded movie stars. And if there were a god in whose likeness he is modeled, it would have to be Janus, the forward-backward-looking deity of beginnings and transitions.

Seniors in the architecture major will have to abandon T-squares and straight edges for their latest project: designing water slides for the Wild Wadi Water Park in Dubai. The students will enter their designs into a global architecture contest sponsored by the Jumeirah hotel chain, which owns the water park.

"It was a shock to come out [of graduate school] and realize [modern architects] were a public enemy," Chipperfield said. This "hostile public opinion," he said, was the result of poor work by the previous generation of architects, whose bad reputation became projected onto Chipperfield and his contemporaries. Furthermore, the damage to England's monuments and other edifices caused in World War II contributed to the public's grim outlook on architecture, he added.

Kevin Roche and John Dinkeloo met in the Saarinen office, where Roche was Saarinen's indispensible lead designer and Dinkeloo directed the firm's production. Upon Saarinen's sudden death in 1961 the pair assumed control of the firm, completing a series of highly significant projects then in construction or on the boards (including Dulles Airport, the CBS Building, Bell Labs and the St. Louis Arch) after which, in 1966, they seamlessly transitioned into their own independent practice.

Immanuel Kant said that human beings make sense of our experiences by using the concepts of space and time. Famed architect and School of Architecture Professor Peter Eisenman said that architects tend to pick one or the other.

I have tested your source and I had the same result as before. I

With the FO-Generator of Antennahouse it works like I want! It

The Formatter of RenderX does not do this by default.

Commonly considered a Portuguese import, Macau's most iconic treat was actually born from the unbridled energy of an English pastry pioneer.
More than a decade after the Portuguese left Macau, their 450-year-old legacy lives on in fusion with the Chinese, creating a culture that is distinctly Macanese.
The net impact of legalised gambling on a community is difficult to assess, and its economic costs and benefits vary around the globe.

At China Poblano (pictured), he fuses Chinese and Mexican flavours in dishes like Asian duck tacos, and at Jaleo, he sticks to traditional Spanish cuisine, serving up tapas and paella cooked over a wood-burning grill. A veritable food mecca, the hotel is also home to restaurants like Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill and Scott Conantâs Scarpetta. (Courtesy of Jeff Green) (Credit: Courtesy of Jeff Green)
From Las Vegas to Macau, casinos across the globe feature restaurants led by some of the world's best chefs.
In the the Las Vegas of the East, mega-casinos thrive and the heritage is a combination of Portuguese and Chinese traditions.

The Human Cost of Scrutiny?
This story appears in the health section of BBC news online today.
The BBC are wee bit late onto this story. There was an excellent article on the subject of the mental health of NHS staff published 2 weeks ago in the Lancet.
The ever excellent and compassionate Claire Gerada makes some very important points on the need to look after NHS staff.
Maybe noone should be surprised at the findings of these surveys.
Life used to be like this - you are a nurse/doctor. You therefore must be compassionate. You have been trained well. Because of who you are you must be going your best - end of story.
It certainly is not like that anymore.

How to deal with immigration from the EU - make everyone pay - a lesson from the General Medical Council.
In 2008, a locum GP doctor injected David Gray, a patient with typical excruciatingly painful kidney stones, with a fatal (10 times normal) dose of morphine. This act was not intentional but a tragic mistake and it occurred because the doctor who was a German national and whose command of the English language was not good, for want of a better description, screwed up - badly.

Why Healthcare Insurance to pay for NHS services is probably closer than you think!
Recently, this story featured quite prominently in the UK newsmedia. The response from NHS devotees on social media and blogs was muted. Its significance, in my humble opinion may have escaped obsessees of the UK or English NHS. This is why I think so.
I sit on the cardiac surgery CRG or Clinical reference group.
Please let me explain before you surf away or fall into a deep slumber!!

'Feel good' factor drives volunteers
Relevant offers
Christchurch Earthquake 2011
Several post-quake Christchurch initiatives survive on volunteer help. So what motivates people to do unpaid work? ANNA PEARSON reports.
Afree sausage can go a long way. Ask Gap Filler project co-ordinator Richard Sewell.
Sewell recruited a group of 50 people to build the R.A.D Bikes (Recycle a Dunger) community bike shed in Gloucester St. They hammered their thumbs, used power-tools to cut wood to length and ate free sausages over a period of seven weeks.
"We had a family of volunteers that grew during the build. It was mostly repeat offenders," he says.
Gap Filler is one of many post- quake initiatives relying on the good will of volunteers to get jobs done.
It is on top of the needs of pre- existing organisations such as the Christchurch City Mission, the Salvation Army and Presbyterian Support.
Volunteering Canterbury matches volunteers with registered organisations and manager Ruth Gardner says demand has risen.
"We have got a lot more roles available than we had a year ago because they are not being filled. The need for longer-term volunteers is definitely growing. We're needing people to be on boards and committees and undertake roles that require training," she says.
Gardner says there were about 270 volunteer roles available at the end of last month compared to about 170 at the same time last year.
There was a "tremendous" volunteer response to the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, but "because people's lives are still so incredibly uncertain there is not quite the same willingness to be committed to a formal organisation".
Filling the gap, then, are post- quake initiatives that often only require short-term volunteers for one-off jobs.
"Everything we do relies on volunteers," says Sewell.
"It's always easy to get people to build stuff, it's harder to get people to maintain things and even harder to get people to deconstruct things," he says.
Sewell also co-ordinates corporate volunteer days, "which more and more companies are doing now".
"People like to do stuff in the city and I think we have got a good reputation for the kind of days that people do with us."
But how do you keep unpaid workers happy? How do you, like Gap Filler, get "kids with tiny arms" to rescue golf balls from under the Pallet Pavilion?
Dr Sanna Malinen, a senior lecturer in management at the University of Canterbury, says volunteers are motivated by "intangible rewards" such as meeting new friends, gaining skills and a "feel good" factor.
"We also know that people's motivations change in time. Volunteer organisations should make an effort to communicate with their volunteers frequently to ensure that their needs are being met," she says.
A lack of communication can negatively influence volunteers' satisfaction, as well as a lack of organisation, recognition and training. Providing helpers "with a realistic preview of the type of work they will be doing" is important.
Malinen says the Volunteer Army Foundation (VAF) "has certainly put volunteering on the map in Canterbury. Just think about the concert event that took place last year".
The foundation, which grew out of the Student Volunteer Army, organised a concert that 8000 people paid for through four hours of volunteer labour.
Plant Gang, which initiates environmental artworks and gestures around post-quake Christchurch, has recruited about 40 volunteers since forming mid- year.
The leader of the guerrilla gardening organisation, Liv Worsnop, says there's a mental "fence" people have to climb before choosing to spend their spare time pulling weeds and sifting through gravel.
"I definitely have had a few people come along who are just like, 'What the hell? What am I doing? It's so hot!' Somewhere along the way I saw that volunteering was doing something bigger than myself. I think people actually have to really choose to engage with something that's not necessarily going to be fun."
Statistics New Zealand figures in 2009 showed a third of New Zealanders did some form of volunteering. And they had "higher levels of life satisfaction" than those who didn't.
But Sewell says it is no good if you "don't feel useful".
If a job is "boring but meaningful", he says, it is important to communicate how it fits into a bigger picture. And there are always free sausages.
Volunteering Canterbury has just launched an online database of roles available at volcan.org.nz. International Volunteer Day is December 5.

Re: What SF/F Book Are you Reading? .. Redux
Turtledove has interesting ideas occasionally but is a horribly slip shod, painful writer. His best books are standalones like Ruled Britannia, The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump or Agent of Byzantium. His work as H.N. Turteltaub is better written but marred by an apparent tendency to really get off on moral primitivism. His series about ancient Greek merchants who embody the libertarian free market ideal are notably stupid even in the SF and fantasy fields, particularly for someone who went to a real university/college.
Tried to read China Mieville's Embassytown. The first time I ran across psychic powers/personality traits as the key to interstellar travel, in Cordwainer Smith, it was really exciting. Then when I ran across it in a Robert Sheckley short story, it was amusing. The third time, in Samuel R. Delany, it was getting rather old hat, and kind of hard to accept but there were other things going on, so I perservered. Then, when I came to it yet again, it was downright stale. It was vaguely insulting to be treated to such fatuous nonsense yet again. But this time the other thing going on was a first person narrator who regaled the readers with fine writing of the trendiest sort
who announces to us that she isn't a literary person!
You don't have to believe the narrator is reliable but you do have to be able to imagine that the narration is coming from an actual character. As it was, it seemed it was just China Mieville, who for some inexplicable reason occasionally pretended to be someone else who I could not believe would ever, ever, talk or write like that.
The people of this country need regime change here, not abroad.
